For installations using the GA241.B10C002 model, we provide a reliable parallel absolute encoder customized replacement solution designed for seamless integration. The replacement encoder is engineered to match the original in electrical interface, parallel output configuration, resolution, and functional performance, allowing direct installation without modifying control software, PLC mapping, or wiring logic. This ensures minimal downtime and stable operation in industrial automation and positioning systems.
Technically, GA241.B10C002 is a singleturn parallel absolute encoder with 13-bit resolution (8192 steps per revolution) based on optical sensing technology. Absolute position data is transmitted through 13 parallel outputs, offering immediate and accurate position feedback after power-up, with a typical initialization time of approximately 20 ms. The encoder supports Gray or binary coding, and rotational direction (CW/CCW) can be selected via wiring configuration. Integrated control signals such as ENABLE, STORE, ZERO, and UP/DOWN allow controlled output activation and flexible position handling. Push-pull, short-circuit-proof outputs and continuous code monitoring ensure operational reliability and safe signal transmission in industrial environments.


Mechanically, the replacement encoder is built in a Ø58 mm aluminum housing, with optional shaft sealing for IP65 protection. It supports specified mechanical and electrical operating speeds, low starting torque, and defined axial and radial shaft loads suitable for precise positioning. Compliance with industrial EMC standards, vibration and shock resistance, humidity tolerance, and extended temperature capability make this customized replacement solution suitable for automation equipment, material handling systems, and industrial machinery requiring accurate and reliable absolute position feedback.
